CHURCH/CEMETERY HISTORY:
------------------------
This cemetery covers a fair-size area that is located in-between Hiawasee Road
and the Railroad tracks. Most of the tombstones have been knocked over and
their interred have been removed and relocated. No attempt has been made to
fill in these holes. The graves that were marked with field-stones, have not
been moved.
It appears that maybe when the railroad was built, relatives of the interred
were given the opportunity of having their graves moved to another location.
The new (#2) church is located at - Mount Nebo #2 Baptist Church, 225 Nebo
Church Road, Seneca, SC 29678, 864-882-0679, Pastor Sidney Davis 1-800-302-1945.

Seneca River Baptist Association - 1982
Sometime about 1885 some disagreements came up in the Seneca River Baptist
Association and the result was a split in the churches. It was led by the late
Rev. W. R. Parker. New Mount Nebo Baptist Church or Mount Nebo #2 came out from
old Mount Nebo or Mount Nebo #1 located on the Southern Railroad. Two more
churches known as little Abe and Parker's churches did the same. These three
churches were known as the Parker's Association. The Church, Mount Nebo #2, the
land, 2 acres more or less, was bought from Mr. Robert Swinger. The deeds were
recorded in Walhalla, December 18, 1888, at $10.00 per acre.
